The HD connector has to be factory fitted. If you are buying a new housing and wish to use the HD monitor, please state this with order. If you already own a Gates housing and wish to use the HD monitor, the housing will need to be shipped back to Gates in the USA.
Due to lack of space for the connectors, it is not possible to use the HD version with the following Gates housings: FX1/Z1, HC1/A1, HC3, HC7.
